Division of the Land and Inheritance Boundaries

Ezekiel 47:13-23

Chapter 47
13 Thus says the Lord GOD: This is the border by which you shall inherit the land for the two portions of the ten tribes of Israel, Joseph’s. 14 And I will cause them to inherit it, a man like his brother, which I raised my hand to give it to them and to your fathers; and this land will fall to you as an inheritance. 15 And this shall be the boundary of the land: on the north side, from the Great Sea, by the way to Hethlon as you come to Zedad. 16 Hamath, Berothah, Sibraim, which is between the border of Damascus and the border of Hamath; the middle Tabernacle courtyard, which is on the border of Hauran. 17 And the border shall be from the sea to Hazar-enon, at the border of Damascus, northward, and the border of Hamath. This is the side of the north. 18 And the east side, from between Hauran and Damascus and Gilead and the land of Israel—the Jordan from the boundary to the eastern sea. They shall measure it. This is the east side. 19 And the side of the Negev toward Teman from Tamar to the waters of Meriboth Kadesh, to the Great Sea. And the side of Teman southward. 20 And the side of the Great Sea, from the boundary until opposite the entrance to Hamath—this is the side of the Sea. 21 And you shall divide this land for yourselves among the tribes of Israel. 22 And it shall be that you shall divide it as an inheritance for yourselves and for the resident aliens who reside among you, who have fathered sons among you; and they shall be to you as natives among the sons of Israel. They shall have an inheritance with you in the midst of the tribes of Israel. 23 And it shall be that in whatever tribe the resident alien sojourns, there you shall give him his inheritance, says the Lord GOD.
